Looking to source a supplier for three sheets of the above cut to size & delivered to line out front & sides of our Ifor chipping trailer.

Why chequer plate alley just got flat on my ifor. Westbroom trailer at Colchester can cut fold and weld alley if you need.

Sorry all my suppliers are not local to yourselves. We used a local engineering company to cut and fold ours

 

One thing I would say is to get the tail door plated as well, otherwise when you've a load of chip in it, it will be loaded all towards the drawbar end and makes it very unbalanced on the nose.

We did the same to our 10x5 and now you can level out loads and make the trailer more balanced - and legal.

Good valid point regarding load, but we rarely fill, and was thinking of leaving the last side panels blank for reversing & vision as we are mainly off the road around a lot of people with dogs etc.....

Hi, not got any photos to hand, ill try and add some later, but here's what I did to my ifor 8x5 ft, cost 120£ ish and some time.

 

2mm ally sheet, drill a 5mm hole every 20cm or so near the edge and zip tie it to the frame of the weld mesh frame... I think I got it cut to size from 'aluminium warehouse' or some thing down north London/Hertfordshire way. Ordered online and they cut it to size...

 

That stood up well to a couple years Arb work including throwing good sized logs in, but had to go round every few months and replace some zip ties. Could be made more permanent by bolting on with some big washers somehow.
